I primarily use a tractor to mow but use a push-mower for the close-in work or occassionally I will mow the entire yard with the push mower for exercise. In 20 years I have gone through two push-mowers. They were both very low-end MTD-made mowers with B&amp;S engines and no frills. They did the job expected of them. When it came time to replace the 2nd of these two I wasn't sure what I wanted---an upper-end mower with a Honda engine and lots of frills or another bare-bones model. While an upper-end model would outlive a "bare-bones" model I could buy two of the lower-end models over 15-20 years and still pay less than I would for one upper-end model. As with everything else, often the bare-bones models are not the best-value either.</p> <p>My criteria for a mower was that it had to be the best-value. I defined "best-value" as additional features over a base model with incremental cost less than the incremental value of the additional features....</p>...
